obama's speech give any hint as to how he'll focus his second administration? joining me now, susan estrich, professor of law, political science, at usc and, a fox news contributor. all right, susan, take it away. give us your take on the speech. >> liberal, liberal, liberal. we talk last weak, art, about whether the president would go liberal, go to his base or come in at this moment and time and say we have to unite and bring the people together. we have to work on a bipartisan basis. he didn't say that. what he said instead, the one memorable line i think was the line about equality. from seneca falls to selma to -- what is it... i have it right here. to stonewall the -- gay rights movement. you got it. so, i think we're going to see gait rights, we're going to see immigration reform, we're going to see gun control and the way he'll do it is not by trying to cut a deal with john boehner who probably can't cut a deal for all the republicans anyway but by picking up republicans in the house and senate he has the majority he needs. >> arthel: the president made

>> president obama moved on this and it was calculated politically to catch up for the last ten years in the country. one of the biggest changes we have witnessed, swiftest changes we have seen in our society. politician have trouble catching up with that but they read the polls and they know what is going on. the boy scouts are not endeavoring to change their long-standing tradition so much to be because they want to welcome homosexuals and be inclusive, as they do not feel they can survive as an exclusive organization anymore. they have lost members in protest. they are not getting enough new members. they are losing financial support. they believe that this is something that they have to do for their survival. surely the question of how you integrate the boy scouts, that is an extremely complicated matter. two of the largest contributors are the mormon and the catholic church. you have manpower and financial money coming from places that don't support homosexuality there. >> they are doing this for a reason. their members say it's because they are losing their ability to carry on.
